I'm sorry I was late
I was taking pictures of the sunrise
It wasn't that I meant to linger so long
But it was so beautiful 
It kind of took my breath
And there was an incident 
With coffee spilled
And it never fails
When I'm short on time 
There's someone out for a Sunday drive
On a Tuesday morning
At 7:30
My apologies 
For not paying attention
But I was watching the crows
And wondering what all the fuss was about
My mind constantly wanders
And I compose poetry
In my head
About beauty
And grace
But most of all strength
...and sometimes food
There's always love
I apologize for keeping you waiting
But I smudged my mascara 
When I sneezed
And I want to appear perfect
Just every now and then
I wish I could 
Make you understand
Why I want to drink you like water
And I just want you near all the time
But until you feel that way
You can never understand
I think this has gone on long enough
God pushes us together
Every time there's a break
And you've noticed it, too
You've driven me to distraction
At least a dozen times a day
I will you to keep me updated
On all the little 
Tiny
Insignificant
(To you)
Things that make up your life
Not because I'm bored
But I miss having a person 
To think about
And pray for their happiness
And I'm sorry I cry when I read this to you
But I can't help it
And there goes my mascara again
